#dobermann medias

Hello! Occasionally we get a surge of DM questions that are missed. Many ask if we are breeders and how we manage to have such a large crew around children without knowing the history of our Dobermans. Some question whether or not they might "snap" at any moment and attack their people because they are a dangerous breed and they are rescued. Nothing could be further from the truth. .
Both breeder purchased and adopted Dobermans in general can make fabulous family pets under the right guidance. They are an active breed who thrive on structure and boundaries. These respectful boundaries need taught to both the canine as well as children in the home, no matter their ages. If a potential owner doesn't have lots of time to invest into a Doberman than this is not the right breed for them. A bored, lonely and untrained Doberman is bound to be a destructive dog with anxiety issues since they are specifically bred to be with their people. If someone has time and resources to invest, they can hit the jackpot of a truly amazing companion. .
Many know we're a family of rescuers here, but we also support ethical breeding practices from reputable breeders. These are people who fully health test their Dobermans trying to preserve classic traits we all adore. In the US you can find a list of reputable breeders at www.DPCA.org under breeder referrals. It's a good starting point. You can also discover plenty of educational information about Dobermans overall here, including information on albinism in Dobermans and why this is an undesirable genetic mutation. .
If you're open to adoption we highly recommend checking out reputable rescues in your location and filling out an application. More than happy to guide adopters to ones in their area. Many Dobermans available in rescue have basic obedience training and are housebroken. We've discovered others can learn quickly through patience and adapt to specific routines in their new world over time. These dogs have been thoroughly screened and temperament tested. Fostering is a great way to experience this breed as well and necessary for rescues to function. Rewarding too! 💕
Always willing to answer questions. Ask away!

They call Dobermans velcro dogs for a reason. They just need to be by you, constantly.
He sleeps on the other side of the bed but he wakes up every morning, gets out of bed, walks around, nudges just me to scoot over so that he can crawl back into bed and snuggle with me on this side.
I can't even get up to go to the bathroom without him being by my side. And I'm okay with that. 💛🐾
